elite navy s.e.a.l.s were prepared to go in, if the president so ordered. but it was a tough call. the mission would require invading pakistan's sovereign territory. intelligence put the odds at 50/50 that bin laden was even there. if the mission did not succeed, it would be a disaster in political terms to rival desert one, jimmy carter's failed military effort to rescue the iranian hostages in 1980. it would be much safer to launch a drone attack, but also less sure, because we'd never be certain we'd gotten our man. >> i will tell you that there are moments in your presidency, and i think this is true of every president, presidents i admire, presidents i've been critical of, where you really do put politics aside. where you have great clarity about the profound privilege and responsibility of this office. certainly, we thought about the fact that if there was a failure here, it would have disastrous consequences for me politically. we knew the examples of the carter presidency and we understood what happened there. but i tell you, the only thing that i was thinking about through

three navy warships are anchored off the northeast coast to help with the relief efforts. in new jersey, military trucks are being deployed to operate as polling places on election day in the hardest hit communities that remain without power. good morning. i'm willie geist. this is "way too early." the good news trickling out slowly today. amtrak will begin offering limited service between new york city and boston. new jersey transit will start moving today with limited service. the new york subway system making advances, little by little. the m-train, which links queens to manhattan, just started run. there are still no trains running from low 34th street where half of manhattan remains this morning in the dark. so the millions of new yorkers who depend on subways are now waiting, as you can see in these pictures, in long lines for city buses. for those who drive into the new york city area, the lines stretched for miles yesterday. enough to make you turn around and stay home. in an effort to ease gridlock in the city, the mayor has ordered all vehicles entering manhattan
